Kicking and Screaming 　　 I came into this world Kicking and screaming Apparently, I didn’t like closed quarters Sooo even as a newborn, I was quite ‘outspoken’ and bold I still harbor a fear Of tight places To me, the air is frightfully thin It causes panic and brings many a tear Fighting for that which is just and right Kicking and screaming I believe that my voice needs to be heard I won’t give up without a fight A recent trial in my life Brought to the foreground An incredible strength of internal fortitude I may be old, but I won’t give into this strife I have tried to reconcile This hatefulness And, bend my heart to forgive them Still, all the while I have this ill will – it permeates my very core My only hope is that I hope these people never suffer such an indignity But, I will continue the fight until I settle the score I came into this world Kicking and screaming AND, I won’t give up this fight Even if I shrivel up and my toes are curled 　 © Copyright, Kathy Armijo 06-11-2010

I hope in the writing of this it will help dimimish the anger for although we often get mad and want revenge or satisfaction the sad fact is good people learn to forgive and forget and yea even often reach out to help those who do us wrong.

You put your aggravation and frustration into words that bring those feelings to the reader.

Powerful lungs and resolve are often very necessary for fighting the good and just fight of our lives, Kathy. We need to find them if we have too long been the "strong, silent type" sometimes! But, as others have said, we need also to preserve our own health and well-being at the same time as letting rip. You have put this into poetic context very well and your thoughts are laid out and progressed with great decorum. May your voice continue to be heard, understood - and heeded! Well done! xx

Ha ha! I know the feeling. It sets in for me whenever somebody treats another human unfairand it's quite ambiguous to say the least. Well written. Take care.

Very heartfelt poem, Good girl Kathy! Don't lay silent. But do remember, in the end it will all be washed away by the great sea.
Blessings,

I think you give a great definition of "meekness" in these words. To be meek doesn't mean ignoring injustice.
